0252  'Black' - Pearl Jam, faded to just audible with hard rock & came back up to OM giving shout out to HFU (incl. me), start of a ballad.
0301 moved to 6950U, 'Everybody Hurts' - R. E. M., 'White Coats' - New Model Army with signal up to S5 at 0307. indistinct OM & jingle - like , 'French Military Marching Song (From "The Desert Song") feat. Al Goodman & Hi sorchestra, The guild Choristers] - Earl Wrightson & Francis Greer, 51st State' - New Model Army, 'Entre Dos Tierras' - Héroes del Silencio, 'Get the Funk Out' - EXTREME, Drive' - R. E. M., "W ... D ... E ... F" in robotic voice, "WDEF" In typical OM voice, 'I'll Take Romance' - David Rose and his Orchestra, ID, 0339 off.

S4 and fady before move to 6950U at 0301, then S5 with fair signal.
